What Is Hand Lettering?

Hand lettering is the art of drawing letters by hand. In history, we’ve seen this in ancient calligraphy art forms like Chinese calligraphy and more. Hand letterers create these pieces with traditional art tools like brushes, pens, and markers.

What Is Typography?

The difference here is that typography is the art and technique of creating and arranging type. Because typography deals with type and typefaces, these days we see it most commonly in digital font forms like Arial and Helvetica.

These typefaces have been designed to make letters appear the same on our screens, making it a little more practical in most design situations. And the best part is that letters, numbers, and symbols can be easily manipulated using the character panels available in most design software.
